Abstract (en)
An apparatus for limiting the speed of a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, a transmission having a plurality of gears, a clutch mechanism located between an output shaft of the engine and an input shaft of the transmission, a clutch manipulation member that, when the gear is shifted, switches the operating state of the clutch mechanism to a disengaged state in which the power transmission between the output shaft and the input shaft is cancelled, and detection means for detecting whether the clutch manipulation mechanism is being manipulated. The apparatus includes vehicle speed limiting means and cancelling means. The vehicle speed limiting means executes vehicle speed limiting control for limiting the travel speed of the vehicle through limitation on the engine power output such that the travel speed does not exceed an upper speed limit. The cancelling means cancels the vehicle speed limiting control executed by the vehicle speed limiting means when a predetermined cancelation condition is met. The cancelation condition includes a clutch condition that a detection result of the detection means indicates that the clutch manipulation member is being manipulated. The apparatus further comprises determination means that determines that the gear is being shifted when a predetermined additional condition is met. When the clutch condition and the additional condition are both met, the cancellation means cancels the vehicle speed limiting control executed by the vehicle speed limiting means.
